I am tired of people asking this same question endlessly. At least now I
can just point them to this link.

I cannot use the key combination X in program Y?
-------------------------------------------------------
First, run::
kitty +kitten show_key -m kitty
Press the key combination X. If the kitten reports the key press
that means kitty is correctly sending the key press to terminal programs.
You need to report the issue to the developer of the terminal program. Most
likely they have not added support for :doc:`/keyboard-protocol`.
If the kitten does not report it, it means that the key is bound to some action
in kitty. You can unbind it in :file:`kitty.conf` with:
.. code-block:: conf
map X no_op
Here X will the keys you press on the keyboard. So for example
:kbd:`ctrl+shift+1`.
How do I change the colors in a running kitty instance?
